FF Enzo

FF Enzo is a vigorous, Scandinavian-style sans serif. Created by Swedish designer Tobias Kvant, the family consists of five weights – all with companion true italics – ranging from Thin to Black. It was inspired by type from the past as well as from the present, giving it quite a unique look; this mix of various sans serif design currents does create a quite contemporary, lively appearance. The typeface features a super large x-height and particularly small descenders. The short ascenders and descenders make FF Enzo a good headline face – ideal for magazines, posters and such. The fonts will also work fine for body text as well, however. The FF Enzo family includes tabular figures and sets of smaller figures in four separate vertical positions.

Noel Gallagher’s statement that reading fiction is a “fucking waste of time” and readers are “putting themselves a tiny little bit above the rest of us” – is a valuable contribution.

Cathy Nicol: Isle of Joy

Vince Smith met bandmates Jim Kelly and Nancy Gibbs at a Sex Pistols concert, where he tried to kiss Sid Vicious’ guitar and got a bloody nose. Together they formed Aftershock, and for a while they made a lot of noise, a bit of money and caused a sensation wherever they went.
